Jan. 21 The Town of Cornelius will host a special meeting 9 am Wednesday, Feb. 8 in the Community Room of Town Hall to hear an analysis of the Red Line by a senior fellow of the Cato Institute, a Libertarian think tank in Raleigh. Randal O’Toole will discuss the business/finance plan behind the proposed 25-mile freight-commuter line between Mooresville and Charlotte. There will also be an open forum to allow elected officials, community leaders, residents and business owners to ask questions. Elected officials from Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville and Huntersville and Charlotte as well as Mecklenburg and Iredell counties have been invited. The Cato Institute, which criticized both Barack Obama and John McCain in 2008, has weighed in on everything from urban growth and public land uses to the Iraq War and Social Security. O'Toole has written two books relating to tarnsportation: "The Vanishing Automobile and Other Urban Myths" and "Gridlock: Why We're Stuck in Traffic and What to Do About It." The Town of Cornelius, in a press release, said O'Toole wrote Cato Policy Analysis No. 663 in 2010, "Defining Success: The Case against Rail Transit." |
